(1) Background: The aim of this study was to explore the role of perceived stress and the health locus of control in Crohn's disease and their influence upon the development of flare-ups of this disease. (2) Methods: Stress and the external locus of control were evaluated in a sample of 64 Crohn's patients (flare-up phase versus latency phase). The perceived stress scale (PSS-14) and the multidimensional health locus of control scale were the measurement instruments used. (3) Results: The results indicate that the patients have high stress levels during a flare-up (26.13; 27.44; 28.79; 29.67); high stress levels (28.07; 29.67; 27.44; 28.07) if they have a high external locus of control; and that the external locus of control and stress levels have a significant influence upon the existence of flare-ups in those patients with low external locus of control levels (χ2 = 11.127; df = 1: < 0.001). (4) Conclusions: Actions aimed at reducing stress and external locus of control levels are necessary in Crohn's disease.
(1) 背景:本研究旨在探讨感知压力和健康控制源在克罗恩病中的作用,以及它们对该疾病发作的影响。(2) 方法:评估了 64 名克罗恩病患者(发作期与潜伏期)的压力和外部控制源。使用的测量工具包括感知压力量表(PSS-14)和多维健康控制源量表。(3) 结果:结果表明,患者在发作期间压力水平较高(26.13;27.44;28.79;29.67);如果他们有较高的外部控制源,压力水平会更高(28.07;29.67;27.44;28.07);而且,外部控制源和压力水平对低外部控制源水平患者的发作存在有显著影响(χ2 = 11.127;df = 1:<0.001)。(4) 结论:在克罗恩病中,有必要采取措施降低压力和外部控制源水平。
